Stack's Mountain is a hill of 1,060 feet amongst the small range known as Stack's Mountains in the north of County Kerry, in the area known as Sliabh Luachra. It is named after the Stack family who owned the land hereabouts before the Cromwellian settlement.
The family gave their name to the hill, to the townland (Stack's Mountain, County Kerry) and to the whole range of these low hills and though Stack's Mountain seems to name them all, it is not the grandest of these hills (the highest being Crusline, at 1,165 feet).
